Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
Indian Railways (IR) posted a 25% growth in its revenues to Rs. 2.40 lakh crore (US$ 29 billion) for the financial year 2022-23 (FY23).
The Delhi Metro has been instrumental in ushering in a new era in the sphere of mass urban transportation in India. The swanky and modern Metro system introduced comfortable, air-conditioned and eco-friendly services for the first time in India and completely revolutionized the mass transportation scenario not only in the National Capital Region but the entire country.
Having constructed a massive network of 391 Km with 286 stations in record time, the DMRC stands out as a shining example of how a mammoth technically complex infrastructure project can be completed before time and within budgeted cost by a government agency.
- Operational Network of 389 km comprising 285 stations
- Daily ridership of around 2.7 million in 2019
- Recognised as world’s first and only 100 per cent ‘green’ metro system
